The Institute for Global Health Sciences (IGHS) Global Affiliate Program supports non-UCSF partners with longstanding collaborations with IGHS and IGHS Affiliates. The program seeks to recognize our partners and to build a collaborative global community to increase the collective impact of global health work.
The Global Affiliate Program (for non-UCSF partners) is a program of the UCSF IGHS Affiliate Program (for people across UCSF). This new Program provides resources and recognition to support faculty at non-UCSF institutions who have demonstrated long-standing collaboration with IGHS and IGHS Affiliates.
